10 / 10Outstanding·May 2026
Great spot for our family located just minutes from the beach. The kitchen is more modern than others in that area and the host was great.
10 / 10Outstanding·Apr 2026
We had a nice week in this unit. We saw 2 things that others mentioned when booking this unit but neither bothered us much. The parking is tight but we only had 1 rental car (Nissan Armada) and we were able to fit it between the poles.There is no AC but opening the windows at night and using fans made it comfortable enough.
8 / 10Excellent·Mar 2026
We enjoyed the location of this property. It is very close to the boardwalk! Please be aware that the parking says it fits two cars. It is a very tight compacted area and they need to be small carsWhen we arrived one of our spots was taken by another car and our car didn’t fit in the remaining slot. We had to park a ways away which made it very inconvenient.By the second day we had access to our space.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
The unit was clean and well stocked with the basics (shampoo, body wash, dish soap etc). Nice layout. If you have a large vehicle, the narrow alleyway with other cars parked on the other side, makes it impossible to maneuver into the space especially when other people are staying in the other units so plan to park on the street. Street parking is very hard to find/there. I parked over a mile away one night. The walls and floors are very thin. I heard the person next to me snoring - in the unit next-door, we were questioned more than once about anybody under the age of 30 and if we were going to be making excessive noise. They indicated there was an HOA restriction that they couldn’t have people under 30 yet the people in the unit downstairs were under 30 there were several of them and they were making a lot of noise. This was from the second round of questions “ - Do all adults meet the advertised HOA 30yr min age restriction?”The first round ask the ages of the people staying and I indicated three adults over 40 and two kids.When I asked about the 30 year-old HOA restriction this is what was sent “ The minimum age requirement is waived for multi-generational groups, families are welcome. ”We were a multigenerational family group yet we were questioned about noise and age more than once and if anybody else would be visiting etc.The location has great access to the beach. There is no air-conditioning only heat. It was cool in the morning and the heater worked great.
